Litton, David, Grade 1 / Spelling List

Below you will find a list of all of our spelling words for this year. Remember that your child will be tested on 12 words a week. It it a good idea to work with 12-15 words a week to help your child learn to spell them all. This method does not let students memorize a list one week and then forget it the next week. By the end of the year they should be able to spell all of these words correctly.

Here are a few ideas about how you can help your child learn these words:

Comic strip - Make a comic strip using all of your words.
Type Them - Use a computer or type writer to type your words out, print them and turn them in.
Fancy Letters - Find a cut out the letters for each word in magazines or newspapers. Glue the letters onto another sheet of paper to spell out the words.
ABC Order - Write all of your words in ABC order.
Story - Write a story using all of your words. Please underline each word in your story. Remember that a story should make sense and you should use correct capitalization and punctuation.
Sentences - Write a sentence for each word. Remember to underline your word in the sentence.
Word Search - Create a word search with your spelling words hidden in the puzzle. Then find your words and circle them.
Stair steps - Write each word starting with one letter on the top line. Then on the second line add the next letter, and so on until you have finished the word.
Alliterations - "Tongue Twisters" write a sentence with as many words that you can that have the same beginning sound as your spellin word.
Colorful Words - Use 2 differnt colored pens to write each word. One color for constants and then a different color for vowels.
Chain - Write each word on a strip of construction paper and then loop them together to make a chain.
3 Times Each - Write each spelling word 3 times.
Picture This - Draw a picture for each of your spelling words.
Define It - Use a dictionary to write the definitation of each word.
Spelling Puzzle - Using a full sheet of paper, write your spelling words on it in big letters. Then use scissors to cut the paper into "jigsaw" type pieces.
Flashcards - Use index cards to write each spelling word on.
